Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Major Hurricane Erin is near 22.3N 69.3W at 11 PM
EDT, and is moving northwest at 10 kt. Maximum sustained winds
are 115 kt with gusts to 140 kt, and the minimum central
pressure is 942 mb. Erin will move to 23.2N 70.2W Mon morning,
24.6N 71.3W Mon evening, 26.1N 72.1W Tue morning, 28.0N 72.8W Tue
evening, 29.9N 73.1W Wed morning, and 32.0N 72.5W Wed evening.
Erin will change little in intensity as it moves near 36.5N 67.5W
late Thu. Swells generated by Erin will continue to affect
portions of the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, and the
Turks and Caicos Islands during the next couple of days. These
swells will spread to the Bahamas, Bermuda, the east coast of the
United States, and Atlantic Canada during the early and middle
portions of the week. These rough ocean conditions will likely
cause life-threatening surf and rip currents. The pressure
gradient between a ridge over the eastern U.S. and Erin will
promote moderate to fresh N to NE winds offshore northern Florida
to near 76W from early Tue through Wed. In the wake of Erin, high
pressure will build west- southwestward along 24N through Thu
night.
